The seven deadly sins:

▪️Envy
▪️Gluttony
▪️Pride
▪️Greed
▪️Lust
▪️Sloth
▪️Wrath

Are emotions all humans experience.

Now that you know this...

Let me show you

How you can use these sins to build a successful marketing campaign for your business 👇
▪️Envy

People always want the best for themselves…

And they envy others that have what they want.

Marketers can tap into this emotion by showing prospects how they can live this desirable life.

Show them how they can also achieve this transformation using your unique product
But here's the thing...

Envy may be good...

Or bad.

When people good experience good envy,

They want what other people have.

They want to have these good things for themselves...
But when it's bad envy…

They feel hatred for the people who have what they want.

This happens when you use the wrong cases of transformation.

Your customers may end up leaving your brand...

Because they feel deceived.

Let me give you an example...
I wrote copy for a beauty brand recently.

The first thing I saw about this brand was an ad showing a celebrity using their product.

Ladies were supposed to envy the transformation this celebrity has gone through.

But...

They were pissed.
Most of the comments were

“Next time, use someone who hasn't had surgery and filled their face with botox…”

These people didn't envy the woman even though they wanted what she had.

They were angry that the brand used her as an example…

So they didn't buy.
▪️Gluttony

Gluttons always want more.

This term is used to refer to people who eat in excess…

But you can trigger this habitual greed in your marketing campaigns.

And encourage customers to keep buying more and more...

How?!
By working on your offer.

Build an irresistible offer and people will buy.

If your offer is a no-brainer, they'll buy.

“But... But...”

“That's only one product.” You say.
That's where your upsells, down sells, and cross-sells come in.

At various points, consumers are making buying decisions.

And if your offer is irresistible…

If you did your research well and are solving their core problems…

They'll keep buying...

And become gluttons.
▪️Pride

People want to feel better than others.

They want what their peers don't have.

They want bragging rights.

And you have to give it to them…

By indicating exclusivity.
Words like…

-New and
-Exclusive

Make people feel they're getting what others don't have.

This feeling is associated with pride.
Also...

Show how your product is better than others in the market.

Let them know your unique mechanism…

And how your product is the only thing that will solve their problems.

Show them they're getting the best.
▪️Greed

You’re greedy…

I'm greedy…

Everyone wants to get the best deal and even steal from you the seller.

So how do you play into their greed?

Once again...

Make your offer a no-brainer...
Make it so valuable that when they calculate the actual cost…

It's multiples of the price they're going to pay for it.

So…

They're like “wtf… This is a steal!”

“I'm getting all this shit at just a fraction of the true cost. I can't miss this.”
-Provide value.

-Give bonuses.

-Give out things for free.

-Emphasize the benefits of your product

-Give out rewards for buying products.

-Show customers the ROI on purchasing your product.
▪️Lust

An intense desire…

Well… Not sexual in this case.

But a desire to always shop your products.
How do you make your customers lust after you?

By building a brand with a story.
Your brand story must resonate with your audience…

So much that they will root for you wherever they find themselves.

When you don’t just sell…

But also give people something to believe in…

You will build a loyal “lustful” fan base.
-Understand your customers.

-Know your brand message.

-Have a brand story.

-Give customers something to believe in.

-Don’t stop engaging with your customers.
▪️Sloth

Sloth is laziness.

Let's face the truth here…

Humans will rather settle for the easy task than do hard things.

Many people will rather watch movies than work. 😑

You must remember this when marketing to your customers.
Remove everything that seems hard.

Make your entire process easy and fast.

- The pages must load fast.

- Your copy must be easy to read.

- Payment must process fast.

And more importantly...
Your marketing should show that your customers don't have to work.

Even if they will do some work…

Don't glorify it.

And make sure they know how your offer makes them work less than your competitors’.
▪️Wrath

Wrath is a negative emotion...

And I don't see many people use this.

But…

Here's a way to use wrath to your advantage…
Know your prospects’ enemy…

And help them throw rocks at the enemy.
For people selling natural supplements…

Big Pharma is usually the enemy.

So whenever you make Big Pharma look bad, you trigger a negative reaction from your prospects…

And make them trust your brand more.
Those are the 7 deadly sins…

And how to apply these strong emotions to improve your marketing strategy.

Use them…

Get results…

I made $20,000 as a new copywriter on Upwork

And had an Upwork client pay me $5,000+ to write for him.

The truth is:

You can bag your first high-quality client on Upwork in a month...

Even if you live in a 3rd-world country that nobody likes.

Here's how to do it 👇
Wait…

Before you see the steps to achieving this...

Retweet the first tweet above.

Because this thread is going down in 24 hours.

I'm waiting…
Done it now?

Good

Let's get started.

The wrong research process will mess up your copy

Even before you write a word.

Faulty research means terrible conversions...

Waste of time… And waste of money.

You don't want this.

Use this 7-step framework to research and create an effective marketing copy 👇
Step 1: Dine with the audience

Don't start writing immediately you get a product.

Grave mistake!

You don't know how the audience feels…

The major problem they’re facing…

And how you can come into their lives with the right message.

So...
Head over to where your audience hangs out.

This could be online forums…

Just type “niche or problem + forum” in Google.

E.g Vaginismus + forum

7 formulas to help you create bullets that fascinate your readers...

Communicate your offer...

And sell the crap out of your product.

These will increase conversions on your marketing copy👇
The last time you read an interesting sales copy that compelled you to buy something...

Was it easy for you to get through the whole copy?

Was it just a long block of text that goes on and on?

“Arrghhh… Boring!”

Or wait….

Did you spot some bullet points?
If you saw bullets, you probably stopped to read through them.

Even if you were skimming before.

You wanted to see what was highlighted…

And if it will be important to you.

7 Psychological effects that influence human behavior

And how to use them in your marketing copy

To turn your small business into an empire 👇
#1. The Novelty Effect

People love new things.

Novelty Effect means buyers react positively to new changes just because they're new.

If your copy stops working after a while…

▪️Tweak the offer
▪️Change the big idea
▪️Change the headline
▪️Change the format
▪️Monitor results
People who have seen your ad before may be bored with it

And only buy when they see something new.

But be careful.

Give enough time for novelty to wear off

So you can determine whether people bought because they see something new...

Or because your copy is good.

5 objections to handle when marketing:

1. I don't see how this solves my problem,
2. I've never heard of you. I don't trust you.
3. I'm not sure I need this right now.
4. Why is it so expensive?
5. I saw a better product somewhere else...

How will you handle any of these?
So...

Let's talk about this, shall we?

1. You must do your research before you market a product.

If your customer says-

“I don't see how this solves my problem”

It's either

▪️You didn't do your research or
▪️You’re not communicating the offer well.

Find out which one it is
If you didn't do your research..

Go back to the root and see what problem your service solves.

Is this a problem everyone is complaining about?

If no...

You have to start building desire for that product

This sucks...

As it's always better to create based on existing issues

David Ogilvy- Direct Response Marketing Legend

Wrote an ad with the best headline in the world

When this ad was published in 1958...

It created an 18-month waiting list of new car orders!

Rolls Royce asked Ogilvy to pull the ad. They couldn't keep up

See why this ad worked👇
1. Ogilvy’s headline shows expertise

“At 60 miles an hour the loudest noise in this new Rolls-Royce comes from the Electric Clock”

You see...

No matter how good you are at writing…

Or how much you think you understand human psychology

You can't get it right without research
“If you don't do the right amount of research before you write…

Your copy won't convert
